Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month

Gypsy, Roma, Traveller History Month (GRTHM) celebrates the richness that Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities bring to peoples everyday lives here in the UK, and the many and varied contributions they have made to British Society.

GRTHM started in Brent in 2001. With endorsement from Parliament in 2007 GRTHM went national in 2008 and is now celebrated throughout the UK each June. The aims of the GRTHM are to raise awareness, explore the history, culture and language of these communities, help to challenge myths, tackle prejudice and offer balanced debate.
